Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relation betweenν and ṽ needs to be derived and reason for the terms frequency and wavenumber to used interchangeably needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The wavenumber is the number of full cycles in a unit of distance or number of waves in one centimeter. It is inversely proportional to wavelength. In other words, wavenumber is directly proportional to the frequency where the frequency is the number of cycles per unit time.
